Description
Summary:Previous studies have focused on the fact that government policies are the key factors in promoting the development of intelligent construction in construction enterprises. However, how to select different forms of policy support and quantify the intensity of policy support, as well as the impact on the behavioral strategies of construction enterprises and the government, still needs in-depth exploration. This paper constructs an evolutionary game model between construction companies and the government, using the system dynamics simulation software Vensim to analyze the model under three different government policy support scenarios. The study explores how varying levels of policy support and key factors influence the strategic choices of the game participants, providing valuable insights for promoting the development of intelligent construction. The key findings are as follows: (1) The willingness to adopt intelligent construction is heavily dependent on policy incentives. The incentive effect of the three single policies is much lower than that of the combined policies, and only high-intensity special fund support (more than 8 CNY/m<sup>2</sup>) significantly promotes widespread adoption. Among combinations of policies, tax incentives coupled with special funds prove most effective. (2) The government’s decision to actively promote intelligent construction hinges on a cost–benefit analysis. Under medium to high levels of special fund support, medium to low levels of service support are more beneficial for reaching a stable state of intelligent construction implementation. (3) Reducing the incremental costs of intelligent construction transformation is the primary key factor in promoting construction. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how both the government and construction companies can adjust their strategies in response to policy changes, ultimately leading to more effective policy implementation and strategic decision-making.
